I have both of them for sealed SNES and they are actually two different sizes! lol

I like Deniz and Kenneth and I don't mind grading and authenticating collectibles in general. I don't really care what they grade but keep it consistent. It's like when they first started and were grading reseals as NS. It all just confuses the noobs lol

Yeah it was on the label. It was one of those comic speculator guys, (redhoodcomics I think it was) that burned out fast and faded away back to the shadows. They wanted like $7-800 and then pulled the ebay listing after they probably got tons of hate about it lol

What made me laugh is they give a pretty high percentage of the overall grade to the box (40% maybe?) with CIBs and the cart and manual were shitty (6/6.5 ish), but the repro box score brought the overall total grade up to like a 7.5 or 8 with a 9+ on the box lol

I thought it was interesting when they graded a SNES Super Mario All-Stars + Mario World as a CIB with the original cart and manual mixed with a reproduction box because the game was only ever a system pack-in? lol

final fight guy is fine. they are all made with the white paper stock like that

Yeah I know and I think that sleazy Piko bought the rights to this and a bunch of Kemco games and I really hope he just reprinted the broken game without fixing the glitches everyone complained about for years lol That's why I started this thread and was mostly just curious if anyone else knew about this and dumped this version to compare them. Yes I have prototypes and stuff like Test Carts and the MACS carts and I know about the chips and like I said there are other copies out there and I don't dump games

Right around the time Nintendoage died, Kemco liquidated all of their old stock of SNES games through Seattle Goodwill on Ebay. There were nothing but mint factory sealed games and maybe 10 unused but not factory sealed copies of Dragon View which I thought was kind of strange. A member who won a copy started a topic about the weird prototype looking board after they noticed how heavy the cartridge was. I guessed all of the Goodwill Dragon View copies would be like this and the auctions were still happening, so I put in a big bid to investigate and ended up winning the last copy for really cheap lol When it came in the mail, I could tell right away the cartridge was a lot heavier than a normal copy too and was the same board from the NA topic when I opened it. Those 2 brothers who claimed they found the brown power Fentanyl or whatever it was in an NES game guessed it might have been a revision for a known game ending glitch that made the game unplayable towards the end and Kemco might have been sending out replacement copies to people that complained directly to them, but I've never seen any evidence of that happening. I think their NA names were something like Crzoe and Ichisan? I don't play RPGs or dump games so I'll never play it and figured I would revive this from the dead and maybe someone else might have new ideas or information or just enjoy the oddity too!

Just ebay being ebay. They said they wanted to customize searcher for buyers a few years ago when they started charging sellers more to pay for promoted listings that would get more guaranteed traffic. Sometimes I can't even find my own listings with their search results and even try using multiple accounts with different settings lol

Congrats! I know it's blasphemy, but way too many RPGs and Street fighters in your top 100 for me personally because I don"t like any of them lol They all seem exactly the same, but I do like the artwork and know they are what most people feel nostalgic about remembering SNES I appreciate the hard work and effort and you actually completing the project

Sell the loose carts, any duplicates, and then reinvest the money on new games like I wish I had done? I started out doing a loose SNES cart collection to play like 20 years ago, then went to piecing together CIBs just so I could look at the boxes and manuals too. Then I ended up having to collect sealed because some games I could never find 100% complete, so I have at least 3 copies of most games with up to maybe 10 copies each once I got more condition sensitive lol I just kept it all and will probably never have much time to ever get around to playing through much of it and it sucks having tons of duplicates when I could have added a lot more variety to my collection when things were cheap

Not everything is about money lol I've only ever found mine in the wild, so that's why you document the discoveries as much as possible for down the road like I just did. I wouldn't buy an expensive one that I didn't know a little of the history where it came from so that does matter. I bought this Redline F-1 Racer Prototype on Amazon for $9 back before pictures on there existed, but they described the homemade labels perfectly in their description with the Please Return to Absolute, so I think I printed a copy of the seller's description and might still have it, but that's all the documentation there was.

It came in the mail today and looks just like my Sonic Blast Man Proto and all the other SNES Taito protos, but the screw holes were filled.

I love finding poorly listed protos when I'm not even looking! lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/385092322023

You're the one posting walls of text full of personal attacks raging against some invisible enemy just like the the old days lol I don't care what you do. Just don't pretend like you did something noble when it was fine as is. Might as well have just scraped off the X3 label and printed up a new X2 label for it and called it good?

lol I'm not upset and it wasn't about money? You damaged something authentic that you can't undo. There used to be a guy who ruined every game he resold on ebay like that and I just used to laugh at his bad touchup jobs too It goes for anything that has stayed original and authentic after all this time. Why not just leave it as found? I would have told you the same thing if you polished a coin or taped pages back in a book and I always think of this

I was gonna say just throw the X2 in a generic FX shell like Stunt Race shell and trade or sell the X3 shell because it had a halfway intact and decent label for X3, but I saw what you did with that horrible touch-up job! lol Why would you do that???

Yeah that's one of the small box variants. This is the other one, but it has a mismatched manual pictured and other inserts that didn't really come with it. Hudson edited the manual down for the small box reprint without the multitap

Haters gonna hate I don't like that lukiegames wins almost every auction on ebay and then they have shitty employees that just grip and rip stickers on the front labels on games you should know that doesn't work with and then toss everything they trash into their 25 cosmetically flawed game lots. Funny thing is that JJgames used to win all of those auctions and it was probably 99% of his inventory for years DKoldies has always been good to me and quick to respond to questions I had

Yeah they always came sealed to blockbuster and then the employees would cut the wrap open with box cutters and slap security stickers all over everything. I have some Blockbuster boxes with razor cuts literally on all 4 sides plus the front. Very few sealed games escaped their wrath lol

Does anyone else have one with a V-seam or remember much about the release? Was it a Blockbuster exclusive to start like some of the N64 games then followed by a regular release? This ad straight up says it was a blockbuster exclusive around the time of the World Championships Tournament lol I see WATA only has this unsealed NS 7.0 in their population report that Bryan just sold which doesn't make any sense and I have never seen one besides mine I bought from Pink Gorilla Games in Washington state on Amazon years ago and wonder if it maybe came from someone on the inside with Nintendo https://www.ebay.com/p/4554?iid=274974556627

There's 3 versions of Super Bomberman for SNES. As far as I know, the Party Pack was the first print and the 2 small box versions are the variants.

Found this today going through boxes, but I know I have another copy of #20 with 3 posters for some reason? Must have been common with that issue lol

Well here's the guy who bought that Lufia II guide if anyone here knows them lol https://www.ebay.com/sch/pau-mccar/m.html?_trksid=p3692

OCD's MTS did pretty good! $8601.00 4/20/2022 https://www.ebay.com/itm/294923633939
